Chapter 2 The Newborn Ranger (Part 2)
Leaving the Liema Hotel with brisk steps, although the river beach city was lingering in the evening, Marvin still felt like he was in water.
When he walked into an alley and stepped into the shadow, he even instinctively made stealth moves.
That's some good habits that can help thieves become more silent when sneaking.
However, Marvin is not only weak, but also not a professional, so he naturally cannot activate stealth skills.
Turning around, two young faces were paying today's gains to a strong man - Marvin recognized one of them, a second-level thief, who were stealing in the city, but their gains had to be paid to the gangsters who managed them.
The strong man glanced at Ma Wen, as if he had seen the aristocratic badge on Ma Wen's sleeve, and cursed and said something.
Marvin lowered his head and left quickly.
He is not qualified to cause trouble now.
...
As a city-state under the rule of the Southern Wizards Alliance, River Beach City is like other cities, and the churches of the gods are struggling to develop here. But in recent years, the Silver Church has been an alien. They not only have firmly established their foothold in River Beach City, but also have become the third largest force in River Beach City. This has something to do with the clergy of the Silver God. Although the arrogant wizards always believe in the greatest wizard god, Lance, and have never missed other gods, no matter how proud the wizard is, they still need money.
Since the fall of the God of Wealth, the God of Silver has also been popular among merchants as a god of weak divine power, and the wizards who ruled Fernanda for an era are naturally unavoidable.
Ma Wen is well aware of the nature of the urinary nature of the Silver God Pastor. These guys are tempted by money. As long as they are paid enough, the few magical techniques in a day will be consumed on you.
The pastors of this church are also one of the few aliens who only need silver coins to buy divine healing.
It turned out that the boy didn't know these ways, but he wanted to save some money, but he ended up saving himself to death. Ma Wen didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
There is a pawnshop deep in the alley, which is quite remote, but the reputation in my memory is quite good.
The owner of the pawnshop is an old goblin, wearing a pair of pinch-nose glasses, looking cunning and cunning. Seeing Ma Wen grin, he was obviously a regular customer.
A good pearl necklace was exchanged for 150 silver coins with Marvin's efforts. In fact, according to his accounting skills, this necklace is worth at least 300 silver coins on the market, and if Marvin wants to redeem the necklace, it will require at least 330 silver coins.
The pawnshop is doing a huge profit-making business. But Marvin has no objection to this. He is not strong now and has only a pitiful 19 points in negotiation skills. He cannot activate the extra effect and let the old goblin give more silver coins.
Hide a small wallet close to your body. The silver coins in this world are actually about the size of a little fingernail. One hundred and fifty pieces sound like a lot, and you can hold them in a small wallet.
Leaving the pawnshop, before the fever worsened, Marvin found the on-duty priest of the Silver Temple.
After paying 80 silver coins, this seemingly honest middle-aged priest is finally willing to show Marvin the "Glory of the God of Silver".
A simple [disease elimination] and [weak life therapy] made Ma Wen's fever disappear and his health points return to full again.
"Your body recovers health under the action of magic - the exorcism of diseases!"
"The weak penalty is reduced by 70% of all attributes!"
"Health Response: 26/26!"
Accompanied by the waves of divine arts and the data passing by, Ma Wen couldn't help but feel a little excited.
That damn weak punishment finally disappeared!
When his life was full at 26 o'clock, he felt that he was much more powerful.
"You look healthy now, young man." The priest of the Silver God showed a hint of fatigue and issued an order to expel the guest.
He is now just the lowest level priest, and can only cast three magic tricks a day, and each use of one will greatly consume his mind.
Marvin left quickly, but instead of returning to the Liema Hotel, he began his own plan!
Want to live in this world!
You must have your own power. The invasion of the gods and the abyss is right in front of you, but what is imminent is the matter of territory.
Hundreds of werewolves could not be removed without moving out of the lord guards of River Beach City. In this inexplicable gnoll attack, Ma Wen smelled the scent of conspiracy.
Especially in his mission panel, there is a soul-bound mission that is clearly recorded:
[Regain the territory - Gnoll invasion]
[Task Description: In the summer of the 297th century wizard calendar, your territory was invaded by a werewolf. You escaped from the sky for life and wanted to ask the lord of the River Beach City, but the constant shirking attitude of the officials in the city hall is suspicious. Perhaps your experience in the city should make you more alert. You cannot count on others, you can only rely on yourself.]
【Task Reward: General Experience 1000 Points】
【Task duration: 29 days remaining】
...
Soul binding means that unless you delete the account and start over, this task will always be with you. And Marvin obviously cannot delete the account and commit suicide now.
I have to admit that the mission reward is generous, but it actually rewards 1,000 points of general experience. General experience is the highest level of experience as killing experience, and can be assigned to any profession. 1,000 points of general experience can increase a basic adventure profession from level one to level three. In this world where it is quite difficult to obtain experience, this can be said to be a rocket-like upgrade speed.
The task description has been clearly stated, and this task may only be completed by one's own strength. If Marvin was still the weak and incompetent nobleman, the ultimate failure to greet him. As he said to Anna, he would make changes.
First of all, he cannot rely on the ordinary profession of aristocrats, he must have a combat profession.
As a legendary player, Marvin had a idea long before he stepped out of the Liema Hotel.
...
River Beach City, commercial area, back door of Succubus Tavern.
A homeless man curled up pitifully in his sleeping bag and begged at the people coming and going, "Give me some bars, even if they have water..."
He tried hard to lift his neck and sniffed it wildly with his nose, as if he could smell the alcohol coming and going on someone's body.
"Get out of here, old drunkard!"
A irritable gangster kicked the tramp, and the poor tramp rolled several steps in his sleeping bag.
People passing by the back door laughed.
They had no sympathy for this. This is the grayest area of the commercial area, and it is only two streets away from the slums. Various gangster forces are fighting fiercely here, and various profit-making businesses are also secretly starting underground: flesh-and-stealing business, slaves, military weapon sales... and so on. There are few good people gathered here.
The homeless man covered his stomach and retracted his head back into his sleeping bag in disappointment.
After a group of people walked past the alley, the alley became a little deserted.
However, when a pure rum aroma came to his nose, he couldn't help but drill his head out of his worn-out sleeping bag. It seemed that he wouldn't care even if he suffered a vicious kick like before.
All he had in his eyes was the bottle of wine that had just been opened.
"Ten silver coins a bottle, golden rum." A young voice rang out.
The tramp couldn't turn his eyes away from the bottle of golden rum, he could only judge from his voice that this was a very young guy.
"Sir, be good, please give me some reward..." The homeless man rushed up suddenly, trying to grab the bottle of rum.
However, Marvin had long expected his reaction, and he took a big step to avoid it, looking at the red-eyed tramp and said:
"If you want to gain something, you must give first."
The tramp crawled out of his sleeping bag, and a foul stinking spread. He kept swallowing his saliva and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you want?"
Ma Wen smiled and handed out a piece of written letter paper and a piece of bright red ink. These were props he prepared in advance.
To be honest, he was not sure whether this move would be successful, but this was the fastest way to take office. He was also a shortcut to know from a game to a friend.
In "Fernando", it is not easy to take a job. First of all, you must be well-trained (meaning that you have at least five professional levels of basic profession [civilians]), and then you must complete the inauguration task before you can take on the job in related professions.
With Marvin's current situation, it would be a bit too slow if he took office step by step like an ordinary person.
He had to try to take some shortcuts.
In order to take this shortcut, he even gave up on his favorite and familiar first-level profession [Thieves] and chose another slightly closer profession. Fortunately, the final advancement of this profession also includes the final profession [Dark Night Master], otherwise Ma Wen would never give up on the profession he is best at.
The homeless man took the letter paper, looked at it for a long time, and took out something black tremblingly.
"The bet right! This guy was indeed a high-level adventurer, at least a second-level adventurer!"
When Ma Wen saw the professional medal, he knew that his observation was correct. Although this homeless man seemed to be in a down-and-out manner, many of his inadvertent actions revealed his former profession.
For example, the action of his curling up in his sleeping bag is very similar to a very useful professional skill - [hiding].
"I can't do this, my conscience does not allow me to do this!" The homeless man struggled for a moment.
Marvin said with a smile: "Of course you can."
After saying that, he handed the bottle of golden rum to the homeless man.
The homeless man's breath suddenly became thicker. He grabbed the dark professional medal with force, pressed the ink, and finally left a mark on the letter paper.
There is a circle of holly leaves above, and a name in the middle is: Mark Xiuwen.
Marvin took the letter paper ecstatically, and the tramp drank the bottle of golden rum hungryly. Before he finished drinking, Marvin quickly left the alley.
The recommendation letter has been obtained.
The inauguration task is completed.
Half an hour later, when Marvin came out of the Rangers union, he had a Sika deer medal on his chest.
This marked his successful entry into the first-level profession - [Ranker].
At the same time, he also won the title of special effects.
